Walking through the Kensington Market area we were able to find almost all of the ears. There was one in particular that we found to be quite cute. The ear is located at 274 Augusta Av where Laura Jean who calls herself the "knitting Queen" tells her story of how she opened up Fresh Baked Goods (a sweater shop) ironically in the summer. The following week there was a heat wave and due to the stress she went to a disco party one night where she met a man named Steve. The following day Steve went to her shop and dedicated six hours to helping her get the store organized. Just five years later not only did Laura and Steve open up two other locations together, but they got married as well. We really enjoyed this story because now in days its hard to hear or even experience some what of a fairy tale. With technology as advanced as it is people have become isolated from one another and resort to e-mails and text messages as a means of communication. Kensington is one of the few places that still has a sense of community and communication.
